I already got rid of i950. I tell you that it has nothing to do color on monitor. If I print plain paper with standard resolution, color is exactly the way I see on the monitor and the real thing. The problem starts on glossy papers (all papers other than plain paper). It appears that i950 has inherent problem on reddish tint. With ip4000, pictures are gorgeous on glossy and non-glossy papers. So it has nothing to do with monitor. Epson printers were great but the problem is its persistent clogging problem. I am very happy with ip4000. Hope this helps.
